Chapter 30 Project Site Selection
Long Province, Provincial Government Conference Room.
The meeting was presided over by executive senior official Li Changlin.
Preliminary discussions were made on the formulation of an investment agreement for the 200,000 mu saline-alkali land improvement project of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd.
Alfalfa Agriculture Co., Ltd., named by Guo Yang, is the main body of the saline-alkali land improvement project with a registered capital of 500 million yuan.
"Alfalfa" represents pasture, but in addition, it can also represent alfalfa, and the super alfalfa Guo Yang obtained from the seed store was also named "Alfalfa No. 1".
"Wo" represents rice and wheat, and also symbolizes food, which means that sooner or later, alfalfa will enter the field of food seeds.
After arriving in Lan City, Guo Yang asked Zhang Wei to go to the industry and commerce under the leadership of provincial government staff to handle various procedures such as company registration.
Because of the huge amount of investment, the project has attracted great attention from the entire Long Provincial Government.
Even though Zhang Wei is a newbie, with the full assistance of the relevant offices of the Provincial Department of Agriculture responsible for the introduction of investment projects, the relevant registration and various procedures for "Alfalfa Agriculture" were completed with extremely high efficiency. .
During this process, the Provincial Party Committee urgently established a leadership working group, led by executive senior official Li Changlin, with Yan, Director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, as the deputy leader, fully responsible for the formulation of the alfalfa agricultural investment agreement and the coordination of follow-up work.
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the formulation of an investment agreement, which involves the site selection of the project and the supporting policies and funds of various departments.
However, because the news was not deliberately blocked, the news about the project of Alfalfa Agriculture investing huge sums of money to improve saline-alkali land spread like wildfire in various districts, cities and counties across the province in advance.
So the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers, and the leaders of various district and county governments began to become active.
As an investment owner, Guo Yang is the first target of everyone, and they have promised Guo Yang various policy support conditions.
It was under this circumstance that the meeting began.
In addition to the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Transportation, Department of Water Resources and other departments, the meeting was also attended by Dr. Zhou, a representative of the Planning and Design Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Soon after the meeting started, it was Director Yan’s turn to make an introduction. He pointed at the map and said:
“Mr. Guo, we initially recommend to you that the project site should be located in Yongdeng and Huizhou. Ning, Gulang and other districts and counties, these places have certain irrigation conditions, the management of saline-alkali land is relatively easier, and they are also suitable for the cultivation of high-quality forage.”
After some consideration, Yan Ting decided to turn to alfalfa first. Areas with better conditions were recommended.
If we think from the perspective of promoting local development and driving the masses to become rich and well-off, they should introduce alfalfa to poorer districts and counties.
But the current predicament of Huihuang Seed Industry made them hesitate.
The investors behind Huihuang Seed Industry are from Rongcheng, Sichuan Province, and have very strong financial strength.
However, in the process of building a pasture seed base demonstration area, the cost estimate for improving saline-alkali land was biased.
As a result, it is currently experiencing temporary difficulties in its operations.
On the other side, Guo Yang looked for the area chosen by Director Yan on the map and frowned.
Although I have not yet visited several areas selected by the Department of Agriculture.
But Guo Yang knew from looking at the location of the land and listening to Yan Ting’s introduction that they had really put a lot of thought into it.
The land recommended by Director Yan are all districts and counties with better irrigation conditions.
From the perspective of normal business development, this is no problem.
But Guo Yang came here to accumulate natural energy!
What he needs is land that is difficult to improve, because only then will the effect of ecological restoration be obvious.
The accumulated natural energy will make you more optimistic.
Li Changlin saw that the financial sponsor was silent and thought that Guo Yang was dissatisfied. Then he asked aloud: "Is Mr. Guo dissatisfied with anything? If you have any requests, you can also make them. Our province will definitely find a way to solve them."
Other departments also agreed that they would cooperate with the province to provide good services to Alfalfa Company.
There is no reason why they should not be nervous. Although the sponsor has chosen to invest in Long Province, it is not unchangeable.
Long Province is only one of the five largest pastoral areas in the country. Next door, there are Inner Mongolia and Qing Province watching eagerly.
And they have already made preparations to take advantage of the investment and construction of Alfalfa Company to improve the infrastructure construction in relevant areas.
Guo Yang looked at the serious-looking leaders of major government departments. Maybe this is the best time for them to speak.
Smiling, Guo Yang said: "The places recommended by Director Yan and others are all good."
Director Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But I heard Guo Yang continue to say: "But I don't need this kind of lightly salinized cultivated land. The land I need must be at least moderately and severely salinized cultivated land or wasteland."
Everyone who came to the meeting was a little dumbfounded when they heard Guo Yang's needs.
Dr. Zhou from the Planning and Design Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture looked even more uncomfortable. He and Guo Yang had communicated in advance before coming to the meeting.
When he first heard Guo Yang's request, he was in disbelief, and then tried to persuade Guo Yang many times.
But now it seems that these are all useless efforts.
Just listen to Guo Yang continue to say: "Director Yan, can you tell me the distribution of salinization levels in Long Province, especially those areas with moderate and severe saline-alkali land."
Follow According to the soil salt content, saline-alkali land can be divided into mild, moderate and severe saline-alkali land. Generally, the soil salt content in mild saline-alkali soil is less than 0.3%, moderate is 0.3%-0.6%, and severe is higher than 0.6%.
Generally speaking, mildly saline-alkali land still has high utilization value and can appropriately develop agriculture and animal husbandry.
However, in saline-alkali soils with moderate or higher levels, most seeds have difficulty in sprouting, and in severe cases, even no grass can grow.
Hearing Guo Yang's request, Director Yan looked puzzled, but since the sponsor made the request, he could only follow Guo Yang's wishes and introduce it.
"Currently, our province has approximately 21.1 million acres of saline-alkali land, including more than 16 million acres of saline-alkali wasteland and more than 4.8 million acres of saline-alkali cultivated land, mainly distributed in Minqin County, Jinta County, and Gulang County and 15 counties and cities. "
"Among the 4.8 million acres of saline-alkali cultivated land, there are 2.4 million acres of lightly saline-alkali cultivated land; 1.75 million acres of moderately saline-alkali cultivated land; and 750,000 acres of severely saline-alkali cultivated land. . ”
“Severely saline-alkali farmland is mainly concentrated in Dunhuang City, Gansu Nongken, Jinta County, Minqin County, Subei County, Aksai and other districts and counties.”
"At the same time, as the degree of salinization intensifies, associated ecological problems such as soil desertification and desertification have become increasingly prominent, and the agricultural ecological environment has deteriorated sharply."
"Due to the large area and wide range of saline-alkali land, the soil The salt content varies, there is a lack of unified planning and systematic development and utilization plans, and the scientific research results have not been fully utilized and promoted. "
"The current saline-alkali land management is still in the stage of spontaneous actions by the masses. Individual farmers invest, develop piecemeal, and abandon the crops. "
Guo Yang listened quietly to Director Yan's introduction and watched him circle one county after another on the map.
The dense markings made his scalp feel numb.
The five northwest provinces may seem vast in area, but not a single bit of land is redundant.
